Do you wanna be right or wanna be happy?

Celeste and Jesse Forever – 2.5/5

Ah, that 10 year span where all our romantic comedies were a little bit indie, and kind of fucking sad. And just kind of small? There's that whole ten years of that Duplass Brothers shit, where everything was aiming for intimacy but just felt inconsequential. ('When Harry Met Sally' feels like a big movie. It's okay to be a big movie.) It gets points for not making an easy enemy of anyone, but the movie's second plot contrivance (new baby) makes an easy answer of its first plot contrivance (staying friends after a break up).
